    It is utterly IMMORAL to encourage new writers

    This is baldly not true. Those of us who have to live with daily threat of homocidal stalkers cannot network. We have to live "off the net" to survive.

    Avoiding plagiarism and lawsuits.

    A lttle known fact about plagiarism... Plagiarism is using other people's ideas... however, provide you have not sold any rights to a script, you CAN crib and use whatever yolu want out of YOUR OWN work. So, if you have a really great couple of ideas in one screenplay that you were unable to...

    Walking Dead Screenplays

    "Walking Dead" is a curious project as the writer started out as "one of us" He began as just an amateur who made the big time with "Walking Dead" by winning a major screenplay contest.

    Worst Film Of All Time

    There are a bunch of really really bad films out there which one hopes that honesty with future potential screenwriters will help to avoid wasting the public's money on. - GIGLI - I admt that I have never seen it, but if every deal on the film was successfully foreclosed upon and every resale...

    It is utterly IMMORAL to encourage new writers

    Some screenplays are pure an utter bunk. It is disturbing to see them made and to see people's hard earned cash wasted on them. As someone who was once so homeless and without ANY income and so broke that I spent 12 days living on nothing more than the free cups of coffee from my bank ( it...

    My screenplays are rigourously checked over and over and over and over again.

    It is utterly IMMORAL to encourage new writers

    Fair comment - that's what i heard on TV some time ago. However, my owen experience seems to back this up as the bit that it is not an island, the last refuge of man is known by very few people that I have spoken to. Most who have seen any of it think its just a post-apocalyptic flick.

    It is utterly IMMORAL to encourage new writers

    >>>>that would be a sure sign that your "friend" and her friend have NO connections with Warner Bros.<<<< ... Then please explain how I reached the producer by directly calling her at Wornout Brothers main switchboard? And how come she is on their payroll and staff lists then? And if the...

    Is it wrong to pay some but not all Crew / Cast

    BEWARE NOT PAYING STAFF IN THE UK! In the UK, they have a law, dating back to the 1970's which says that staff wages stand ahead of all other debtors apart from the taxman and court judgments. There is a famous case of some guy in the postroom of a major American multinational who kept not...

    It is utterly IMMORAL to encourage new writers

    The criticism here is NOTHING compared to the utter roasting that one might expect from a studio who might reach a point of actually considering your script for productions. Here are some things that have happened to me:- - I knew someone distantly who knew someone in "Worn-Out Brothers"...

    Bernie Maddoff made bullshit claims, but his scams made money. So it was okay for the banking industry?

    It is utterly IMMORAL to encourage new writers

    Look, my central point is this... There are many who believe that you should not say anything bad about a new writer's "work" or he will become discouraged. WRONG! People should be told the truth about what they have written... if it's dysfunctional tripe, filled with typos, written sloppily...

    It is utterly IMMORAL to encourage new writers

    Actually... "The Island" lost a packet, wiped out various subsidiary companies, putting good hard-working technicians out in the street, as well as wasting numerous hard-working miners', steel workers', postmens', ambulance drivers' pay packet for the week, taking their girlfriends to see this...
